Planning an event in Highmoor?
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
BBQ catering in Highmoor, cooked on site
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. Whether it’s community fun days and cricket, football and rugby club days, we’ll put together a menu of sausages, BBQ ribs and halloumi skewers for your guests.
Country barbecues near Highmoor are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Highmoor
Is Highmoor too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How many meats should we choose?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
What do you need from the venue?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We’ll check anything else with you.
Do you come to Highmoor?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
